DUAL ENROLLMENT

EARLY ADMISSION

FSW campus, online
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
Full-time
School within-a-school
The Dual Enrollment Program consists of courses taken concurrently (on a high school campus with a credentialed college professor), on an FSW campus, or through FSW online. Many students take a combination of all three course modalities.
Students may enroll in 3-15 college credit hours, while still attending high school courses.
Students 6th-12th grade may be eligible, with college-level test scores and necessary unweighted grade point average.
The Early Admission Program allows for 11th and 12th grade students to take a full college level course schedule, ranging from 12-18 credit hours either on one of our FSW campus or through our online courses.
Students must be eligible with all college-level test scores and maintain a 3.0 unweighted grade point average or higher.
The Collegiate Institute Program began in the 2017-2018 school year, with our first site at Clewiston High School. FSW works in partnership with the district to provide college faculty to offer a college-within-a-school model where students may earn their Associates in Arts degree at their high school.
Students start as an 11th grade cohort with the same eligibility requirements as the Early Admission Program.

Florida state statute protects and encourages dual enrollment:
1007.27 F.S.;
Key provisions:1. Dual Enrollment is at no cost to parents and students
2. Dual Enrollment credits transfer to state colleges and universities
3. Dual Enrollment is weighted the same as AP, IB, and AICE courses
4. Defined eligibility

HOW TO DUAL ENROLL @ FSW
TIPS ON THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS
Florida SouthWestern State College is an equal access, equal opportunity organization. 8
Modality
FSW Accelerated Pathway students have three modalities of instruction;
1. Concurrent instruction, which is a credentialed faculty member who teaches a college course at a high school;
2. On-campus instruction, where students can take a variety of coursework at any of the College's campuses, Charlotte Campus, Collier Campus, Hendry-Glades Center, or Lee Campus; and
3. Online instruction, where students can take courses through an integrated online learning management system.

For Spring 2020, students will PERT test first (either at their high school or at FSW Testing Center) and use the Accuplacer for additional testing.Reading is a necessary score for all DE/EA courses. DE/ EA students are limited to 12 total credits before all 3 test sections need to have qualifying test scores.DE/EA will superscore among all four tests for eligible test scores.Math has two levels of eligibility- MAT 1033 or MAC 1105/ STA 2023/ MGF 1106/ MGF 1107Students may only take the PERT and/or Accuplacer 3 times while in high school, with one test per testing window (testing windows are October 30th-March 20th; March 21st-October 29th).
CLEP
ByPass
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program. Florida SouthWestern State College minimum passing scores and course equivalents can be located in the current college catalog under “Degree Acceleration Programs.” FSW offers the CLEP exam twice a month with a registration form. Popular exams are American Government, College Algebra, College Composition, History of the United States I & II, and Foreign Language (French, German, Spanish).
For students who excel in mathematics, FSW has two ways to by-pass prerequisites courses. If students have scores of PERT (135+), ACT (25+) or SAT (29+), they may schedule to take the Advanced Algebra and Functions (AAF) Test. Based on scoring, students may be eligible to take the Trigonometry Bypass Exam for MAC 1114 to enter into MAC 2311.

H.S. Graduation High school graduation requirements are always first priority. It is why FSW requires the school counselor signature on registration form for both adding and dropping courses.
AccessDual enrollment students have access to most FSW courses they are eligible for by meeting testing requirements and prerequisite courses. Students may take AS, AA, or CCC courses, but need to be degree-seeking.
Access DeniedLimited access programs, developmental courses, and 1-2 credit courses are not permitted. Exception to this rule is the EMT, permitted to seniors 18 or older.
AgeWhile DE/EA students are college students, advising needs to be aware they are teenagers. Stress SLS 1515 for all DE/EA students, avoid doubling writing intensive or core (science, math) courses.
AccommodationsDE/EA students are encouraged to use FSW's Adaptive Services no matter which modality they use to take an FSW course (concurrent, online, ground). They follow the same process as traditional students.
FERPAWhile most DE/EA students are under 18, they fall under FERPA. However, FSW can share student information with school counselors.
Career PlanningDE/EA students want to advance in their coursework and get ahead. It is important to begin with the "end in mind"- what their major is, their future career, and what type of college they wish to attend.
Special PopulationsWhile FSW sees DE/EA as one student population, there are some additional exceptions/ requirements based on if they are from a public, private, or home education school.
HoldsEvery DE/EA student has an Accelerated Registration Hold that prevents them from registering online without a counselor signature. Other holds include; 12 credit testing limit (missing testing score), and homeschool student.
IB, AICE, AP10 TransferabilityFlorida state law (F.S. 1007.271) guarantees FSW credit transferring to in-state public institutions. Like all accelerated credit (IB, AP, AICE), DE credits may differ when going out-of-state and to highly selective schools.
PrerequisitesStudent's coursework should follow prerequisites required for their major, as not doing so can put the student behind in core and elective sequencing.
More students are taking advantage of mulitple college acceleration methods. Be sure to ask about possible courses that have earned them college credit.
11 12
Withdrawal13 Excess CreditAny college credit earned while still in high school, does not count towards the Excess Credit Law (F.S. 1009.286) allowing students more access to internships, study abroad, and double majoring.
Grades MatterStudents are building a high school and college transcript. Not being successful in courses may affect college admissions and financial aid.
Because of #1, withdrawing for a DE/EA student is difficult unless there is a documented extenuating circumstance. They will need approval from their school district administration. A form is provided by the DE/EA office.

How to Choose Core Courses & Electives
Other Acceleration (AP, Cambridge AICE, IB)
Many high school students do not understand how their high school acceleration credits (Advanced Placement, Cambridge AICE, and International Baccalaureate) transfer as college credit and end up taking unnecessary
classes. The Florida Department of Education has outlined how accelerated credits from these programs will transfer based on test scores. Students should work with FSW advisors to determine what credits they
should receive, how to receive them, and how these courses meet possible prerequisites or general education or elective credit.
The FSW College Catalog under Degree Acceleration and Honors Programs contains the full list of college credit equivalencies.
If students have met FSW prerequisites through AP, Cambridge AICE or IB, school counselors will need to submit transcripts with the student's registration form showing the passing score.

Courses in purple are new to FSW for the 2019-2020 school year.
Associate in Arts Degree (AA): A program of instruction consisting of courses offered to students intending to enter baccalaureate programs. All AA courses are advanced and professional in nature. Associate in Science Degree (AS): A two-year program of instruction consisting of college level courses to prepare for entry into employment. All AS courses are advanced and professional or post-secondary vocational courses. Baccalaureate (Bachelor's): A degree obtained by completing 120 credit hours. The first 60 hours are usually made up of general education and elective classes and the final 60 hours consist of major specific coursework. College Credit Certificate (CCC): A CCC focuses on a specific job or set of skills. These programs require fewer credits than an associate degree. Credits completed in a CCC will apply to the related AS degree.
